My wife bought this pen some time in the 90's.  From what I can find, it's a P125.  It's a piston fill, and the barrel is a pretty blue pearlescent plastic.

The nib is stamped: M Reform iridium point W Germany.  The nib and feed screw out for easy cleaning.

It's a slender pen, but not too slender.  It's very light and comfortable to write with.  It seems these were considered student pens.  I'm sure it wasn't very expensive or my wife wouldn't have bought it.

Yes, Reform was a German brand aimed primarily at the mid to low end of the market. Nice trouble-free pens.

It is a great pen. One of my favorite flexy nibs, so much so, I got a couple more. Mine are green. And certainly, although they were school pens, they were wonderful.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

I agree, a very simple piston pen with a very good flexy steel nib.

It's similar to the better known 1745 but the P125 is not as slim and so more comfortable. A really good EDC.

 

I own the typically green/black one, you blue version looks rather nice.

This is my trusty Reform! It’s even blue like mine- been searching for information on it. I bought it in a hotel gift shop. I keep my eye out for another.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
